Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaThousand reasons to love this place. Boutique hotel with luxury feeling, very quiet and safe though it's located in a touristy spot, food is killingly good, staff is well educated and super friendly... so much more to say. The owner has excellent taste so guests can feel home in such an environment.

NetherlandsThis was the second year we stayed at Chakrabongse Villas, and again it didn't disappoint. Although this year we booked (again) through a third party, the hosts knew who we were and welcomed us back when we arrived. We'd also been assigned the same room as last year, which we were very happy with. Chakrabongse Villas is a beautiful, calm oasis in the middle of the hubbub of Bangkok, but just a few steps to the main sights and ferries. A delicious breakfast is served in the morning on the terrace overlooking the Chaopraya River and Wat Arun. The pool is a perfect slice of heaven in the afternoon when the temperatures soar. Next time we return to Bangkok we will definitely stay here again (if they have availability that is: there are only a handful of rooms and you have to book early).

FranceWe ate dinner one evening at the hotel. The food was delicious however the price was a bit too expensive in our opinion for what we got. It was 2500 baht per person which converts to 70€. This is similar to a high quality meal in France and the products and the salaries cost significantly less in Thailand so the tourist tax is a bit too high on this one. A three course meal at the Four Seasons cost us less.
The location is ideal. In the middle of the key historic sites in Bangkok. A short walk or ferry to Wat Arun or Wat Phra or the Grand Palace. The breakfast sitting by the water looking at Wat Arun temple was an extraordinary way to start the day. Ohm, who was the person who we met and who looked after us during our stay, was wonderful. We are curious people and it was the first time here so we had many questions and he took the time to go above and beyond answering our questions. He explained local food, local traditions (we arrived during Thai new year in April). He also organized a private boat tour for us.

United KingdomThis is an absolute jewel. The villas is an oasis of calm and tranquility right next to the main attractions in Bangkok. The view on the river is magnificent. And it's all so private you tend to forget that you are in the middle of the enormous city. The staff is extremely professional and friendly, and it was our pleasure conversing with them on various topics. They not only provided excellent service but also made us feel really good. The pool was such a massive bonus at the end of a hot day! I'll give the place and people who run it only the best marks!

United KingdomThe shower head was a little cumbersome for me to use - but I’m really grasping to think of anything I didn’t like!
Where do I start? The location, right on the river overlooking Wat Arun. The privacy, there are apparently 6 villas on the grounds - but we barely saw anyone else, we had private breakfast on the deck in the morning, the pool all to ourselves in the afternoon, watched the sun go down over the river on our own. The staff were friendly & treat us like royalty. They have the biggest catfish I’ve ever seen! It was the most expensive place we stayed in our 3 week trip - it was worth every penny!

United StatesAmazing oasis. We felt very safe. This is a part of the Royal Palace and this is evident in the decor and elegance of the surroundings. The street scene is vibrant and you are within walking distance of many restaurants and a lot of street food. The Palace and several temples are within a few blocks. Really a great scene.

IndonesiaWe had a wonderful stay, a truly charming and calm place in busy Bangkok. Nice and clean room with a beautiful tropical garden, just by the river, and nearby Wat Pho, The Grand Palace, floral market, piers and MRT. Breakfast was delicious and such a pleasant experience while watching the river and its morning activities. The dinner there, is a must, too, it was exceeding our expectations, with the night view of Wat Arun. The service from before arrival until we left on the day was excellent. Staff are super friendly and helpful.

The grounds are lovely with different areas to go and lovely gardens. There’s a pond with a big koi and a big catfish. The river location is stunning like sitting at a waterfront restaurant in Venice. The staff are so sweet and helpful; nothing is too much to ask; their style is part of the charm and ambience. Tranquil and relaxed. The dinner! Omg, yuuuum! Have the vodka cucumber cocktail!
